Technically smoking it does make you a criminal ..it is an illegal drug. ( I really don't care if people smoke it. I just don't like to be around it. I carry a professional license that could be revoked if I were to get nailed for something like drug usage or possession, because of that I just don't want to take my chance. I smoked a little back in college, but never really got into it. I personally don't see it as being much worse than alcohol, but the bottom line for me is that it is ILLEGAL, so I personally do not partake. It would be a different story for me if it was legal I imagine.

First one I ever went to was Metallica at the Rosemont Horizon near Chicago on the Load tour. I believe it was 1996, maybe '97.

Yeah, I was hitting my driver. I hit my irons really well and played a decent short game. I just don't know what happened between round one and round two where I started slicing off the tee.

Shot at the local course up here. Not a bad course, but not fantastic either. Was pretty happy with my front nine. I shot a 50 on a par 36 and actually had two par holes. I even had a birdie putt from 4 feet that I missed and turned it into one of my pars. I was planning on leaving after 9, but when I came back around (there are only nine holes on the course) a guy at the first tee asked if I wanted to go another round. So I played another nine and it all went to hell. I shot 55 through 7 holes, then it got too dark to finish. Started slicing my drive all over the course, losing balls, etc. I do think that the second round was probably a better indication of my actual ability right now though. I got a lot of lucky rolls on my first nine. Although I didn't have anywhere near as many penalty strokes either. All in all I was fairly happy with it. Shot better than I thought I would the first go round and got a chance to play a round with someone I'd never met before who turned out to be a great guy. I'm sure we'll play quite a few rounds together this year. That to me was probably worth more than how I shot.

I haven't gotten a chance to get out and play yet. Hoping to at least get to the range this weekend for a bit.

I'm a Professional Land Surveyor.

Hello all, Just came across this site as I was looking around the internet for golf related stuff. I,m just getting back into the game this year. Used to play quite a bit just after high school and early in college, but that was fifteen years ago now. I went and hit some balls with my dad a couple of weekends ago and got the bug again. Got myself a full set of Walter Hagans (for now, until I can figure out how to play again) and am hopefully going to start playing fairly regularly. Just thought I'd drop in here and say hello.
